A LED cup lamp, comprising: a heat-sink cup, having an inner surface; a light unit, having a flat metal lead; wherein a lower portion of the metal lead is attached on the inner surface while maintaining an upper portion of the metal lead upward; and a reflection cup, having an inner reflection surface; mounted on the inner surface of the heat-sink cup with the flat metal lead sandwiched in between the heat-sink cup and the reflection cup, for reflecting light beams emitted from the light unit.
 36. A LED lamp, comprising a light unit, having a flat metal lead; a bulb, enclosing a plurality of the light unit; a heat sink, mounted on bottom of the bulb, with an inner wall surface attached to a lower portion of all the flat metal leads; and a lamp base, mounted on bottom of the heat sink.
 37. A LED lamp as claimed in claim 36, further comprising a flexible circuit, electrically coupling to each flat metal lead.
 38. A LED lamp as claimed in claim 36, wherein the bulb has an outline selected from a group consisted of an elliptical bulb, a round bulb and a cup-shaped bulb.
 39. A LED lamp, comprising: a flat longitudinal elongated metal lead; an angled metal, further comprising a longitudinal branch with a lower end aligned with a top of the flat longitudinal elongated metal lead, an S-shaped branch, and a latitudinal branch bridging the two branches on top; wherein a gap is formed between the lower end of the longitudinal branch and the top of the flat metal lead; a LED, straddle the gap; and a heat sink, attached to a lower portion of the flat metal lead.
 40. A LED lamp, comprising: a first flat metal lead; a second flat metal lead, having a front surface coplanar with a front surface of the first flat metal lead; a flat metal bar, having a front surface coplanar with a front surface of the first flat metal lead; wherein a first gap, formed between the metal bar and a top of the first flat metal lead; a second gap, formed between the metal bar and a top of the second flat metal lead; a first LED, straddle the first gap; a second LED, straddle the second gap; and a heat sink, attached to a lower portion of the first flat metal lead and the second metal lead.
